Stop guessing.

Built using archaeological landscape principles

FieldGuide helps you choose where to detect before you even arrive.

It reads the land — terrain, water, routes, and history — and highlights where past activity is most likely.

Less wandering. More evidence before you start.

• Reads terrain morphology and hidden ground features Hidden terrain features most people never see — surface shape and micro-topography analysed for signs of past activity.
• Reveals lost boundaries and historic routes Switch between 1800s Ordnance Survey maps in the field — lost structures, boundaries and roads, still readable in the data.
• Highlights movement corridors and convergence zones Roman roads, droveways and trackways can concentrate activity. FieldGuide highlights these convergence zones automatically.
• Protected landscape awareness built into every scan Scheduled monument boundaries overlaid so protected areas are visible before you're standing on them.

Field intelligence for detectorists.

FieldGuide highlights areas of past activity and potential — helping you focus your search, not guaranteeing finds.

Built to reject weak signals

Most apps show everything — inflating confidence and overwhelming users with noise. FieldGuide is designed differently.

The aim is not to highlight everything.
The aim is to help you focus on the signals that matter.

This is one of FindSpot's core strengths: it is selective by design.

FieldGuide suppresses:

• Modern disturbance Recent cultivation, drainage works and ground disturbance downweighted before results are surfaced.
• Drainage patterns Modern field drainage can look like historic hydrology. FieldGuide helps separate the two.
• Weak single-source anomalies A single signal is not enough. Isolated anomalies are filtered unless corroborated by independent evidence.
• Misleading terrain noise Not every terrain feature is archaeologically meaningful. FieldGuide is designed to reduce false confidence.

Mud, rain, gloves on. Still works.

FindSpot is built for real detecting — not just desk research.

• Never miss a find One-tap Quick Find logs GPS instantly. Add the full details when you're back home.
• See the gaps you're missing Coverage tracking shows exactly where you've walked — and what ground you haven't covered yet.
• Works without signal Recording, permissions and field tracking all work offline.

This is how you keep your permissions.
